- From the Guntersville Democrat,
published in Marshall county, Ala, we
learn of the horrible death of man.
Samuel Scott, son of Mr. Richard Scott,
was working in field near his fathers
house. Becoming thirsty he went to q
spring close at hand and lay down to
drink. Just in the act of slipping tho
cooling draught the ominous hum of q
rattlesnake rang out on the air, and be.
fore the poor boy could rise to his feet
the deadly fangs of the serpent were
fastened in his face. Not until he had
risen could he tear away the Venomous
reptile and stamp it to death with his
feet, After this was done he ran to his
father, q short distance away, before
faibting. They took the poor fellow
home and sent for physicians who came,
but arrived too late to save the life Of the
brave boy. His death ensued eight hours
after being bitten.
- On last Monday evening it was an
nounced upon our streets that the body
of dead man was lying in the Baptist
churchyard. Immediately upon the re.
ception of this information the entire
police force with lanterns in hand head.
ed procession of terrified citizens and
proceeded to the scene where the dead
body vas reported to be lying. The
closest kind OF search was made for the
body but without avail. Our policemen
realized that they had been badly hoaxed,
upon the suggestion of some one present
that perhaps the dead body reported to
be lying in this yard was several feet
under ground. The originator of this
huge joke cannot plume himselfupon the
possession of a vast amount of good iudg.
ment.-Sumter Watchman and Southron
This farmers of East Tennessee, who
met in convention at Knoxville last
week, discussed the prohibition question at
great length and with much vigor.
With scarcely dissenting voice they
adopted resolution endorsing the con-
stiluLional amendment and pledging
their support to it. The Knoxville Jour:
nal says: can overwhelming majority
of the farmers present will vote for the
amendment next September. We take
it that they reflect public opinion on the
subject throughout this section, and if
that be true it may be set down as a fact
that East Tennessee will give large
majority for the amendment"

Disuse Of the French Language.

A writer in a Belgian contemporary
traces the decline of the French language
on the continent. Flemish is driving
French out Of the University of Antwerp
and the Academy Of Client, from the Bel
gfaa mint and postoffice, from the legisla-
ture and the tribunals. French has
ceased 10 be the official language of the
German foreign office; but it is not so well
known that even technical terms of
French derivation have been arbitrarily
substituted in the postal and telegraphic
services by words Of purely German manu-
facture-the result of an organized move
ment TO effect the same result in all de
partments Of life. German is gradually
conquering French in Alsace-L Lorraine.
Russia no longer speaks French even at
court. Greece, following the German ex-
ample, is purifying itself from the French
exceedingly strong-with
the utmost energy; and in Turin, instead
Of seeing in the shops, as formerly: Isl

Complaint is frequently made by thOst
who use baking powders that they leave IN
bread, biscuit. or cake raised by them dis
agreeable, bitter taste. This taste follows
the use of all impure baking powders, ana
is caused either by their containing alum
introduced TO make cheap article), by tie
pure and adulterated character of other
ingredients used, or from the ignorance OF
;heir manufacturers of the proper methods
II combining them. These baking powders
leave in the bread aresiduum formed OF
lime, earth. alum, or other deleterous mat
ters. not always, though frequently, tast-
able in the food, and by all physicians
classed as injurious to health. The Royal
Baking Powder is free from this serious
defect. In its use no residuum is left, and
the loaf raised by it is always sweet, light.
and wholesome, and nOticeably free from
the peculiar taste complained of. The
reason of this is because ii is composed OF
acid and alkali to act upon and destroy
each other. while producing the largest
amount of rising power. We are justified
in this assertion from the unqualified state
ments made by the Government chemists.

RUSHING TO DEATH

in the attempt to swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to trihe with disease
which each day secures a stronger hold
and hastens the end Of life. This is
specially true of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are extreme
ly dangerous, and steadily Secure tirmer
grip until at last the agony is uncomfortable
and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use
of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
erly used Read the following from those
who have tested it.
Another case Of long standing rheuma-
tism was cured by the use of Athlophoros:
that Of VIM Burns, 204 Eas, High Street.
Springfield, Ohio. Said Mrs Burns upon
being asked as to the rheumatism and the
cure: e | had been a constant sufferer from
infammatory rheumatism for twenty-three
wears, until used Athlophoros, which is
two years ago last April, since that time ,
have not had any rheumatism whatever
Had YOU bad attack at the time you USED
Athlophoros? was asked. Yes, my hands
were very much swollen and | suffered
terribly. but the Athlophoros was very
prompt in action and efficient in result, 80
that it was but short time after | com
menced its use before had relief, in fact,
one bottle has effected the cure. At first the
medicine made me very sick, and deaf, anu
was very hard to take, but persisted with
it and the disease passed off with the bad
effects. Do you object 10 having your
statement published? was asked. Not al
all, think it grand, good medicine, and
would certainly resort to its use were
ever afflicted with rheumatism again.
Every druggist SHOULD keep AthIophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought OF the druggist the Athln-
phorcs Co., liz Wall St, New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt "i
regular price, which is Slo0 per bottle
for Athlophoros and zoe. for Pills.
For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, in
digestion. weakness nervous debility. diseases
of women. constipation. headache, impure
blood, &C, AthlOphoros PHI are unequaled.
